who would have thought that, when oliver koletzki released his blackout ep as svt001 almost eight years ago, stil vor talent would reach the catalogue number 100? with our 100th release, we can look back on lots of fantastic music, music by artists who have become part of a close-knit family of friends
the berlin-based techno and house producer and dj oliver koletzki has fully committed himself to his roots for this album. they can be traced back to pop music of the 80ies and 90ies, while his productions still manage to transport the fresh energy of today’s electronic music productions. großstadtmärchen is a perfect example for a producers album: oliver koletzki has created a musically compact long player while working together with many different singers. both established artists like mieze katz from the german electro-pop outfit mia., the hot german pop-rock-singer axel bosse, critically acclaimed indie band kate mosh as well as newcomers such as fran, pyur and juli holz have contributed to the album. the result are ten songs that easily fluctuate between catchy pop tracks, modern house grooves and 80ies synthesizer pop yet still maintaining a very own koletzkieske sound dynamic. großstadtmärchen, which translates as the tale of the big city starts off with this is leisure. famous pop singer mieze katz has put down her sexy voice on a guitar-based song pattern that functions as an ideal introduction into the craziness of the big city tales. after hearing this, the listener is directly fully drawn into this world when hearing juli holzs softly whispering voice singing about the dilemmas of love in the big city on zuckerwatte (single release date: 7.9.09). this is a very fine electro-pop tune. coming up next oliver koletzki and axel bosse board an underground train that takes them around the berlin u-bahn system and back.
deluxe box edition of the new billy talent studio album. includes 10 brand new tracks on white vinyl lp, exclusive art prints, soft bound book and stickers.
the fifth release on the animals dancing label is a special one. sourced from recordings of a live set from 2014, animals dancing famiglia jonny nash & suzanne kraft (diego herrera) originally created these tracks in l.a. ahead of a series of live performances together. after some finishing touches made in jonnys studio in bali in 2016, animals dancing are very excited to finally launch these two to the club. za talent will see you now.
to celebrate our 200th release, the fourth installment of the -stil vor talent berlin- compilation series brings forth a group of old and new faces, who exclusively contributed unreleased tracks, gathered under the umbrella of berlin s metaphorical aorta. alexanderplatz Ð or more specifically, its tv tower the fernsehturm Ð is one of the city s most iconic spots, bustling with locals and tourists alike. a stroll through its subjacent u-bahn station exemplifies berlin s multitude and diversity like no other place in the city. as always, music is the common denominator and oliver koletzki delivers the perfect soundtrack with this new release, while chrisse kunst renders the visual
schneeweiss iii: a collaboration of neighbours. over the years, oliver koletzki has continuously cited berlin as a point of reference and, more importantly, a source of inspiration. two of his albums - gro§stadtmaerchen and gro§stadtmaerchen 2 - have been a direct ode to the capital. friedrichshain, one of berlins vibrant districts, has always held a special place in olivers heat. this is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now.
with niko schwinds first album for stil vor talent you never loose the feeling that each of the tracks would work harmoniously on the dancefloor, but also within the concept of this album that goes from slow-moving vocal house to pretty nifty tech-house and back. niko schwind is a magician when it comes to producing very fine and mature pieces of house music that are sure to work great on the dancefloor. maybe niko has had the dj in mind that he is himself, as the tracks seem to perfectly provide great productions, but also the ideal ability to mix them in and out, with little samples providing great audible cues. after all, as the title suggests >good morning midnight< is an album with the dancefloor in mind
as dark as the sea at the dawn, as hypnotic as a silk scarf breezing in the wind, as powerful as a massif passing by in the twilight, experienced from an enraptured bird’s eye perspective.

REMIXED (RYAN DUPREE,ARIEL CURTIS TERRY REMIX, DAPAYKS CLUB EDIT)
12 Inch 28.08.12
released in february, dapayk & padbergs sweet mnothings lp showcased an impressive grasp of contemporary electronic music, designed for headphones and dancefloors alike. now, six months later, stil vor talent delivers a remix package that presents the reworks of competition winners ariel curtis and dry/wet dreams, as well as remixes by ryan dupree and dapayk himself.
the best things come in threes: after his recent success with the the devil in me, a glorious collaboration with oliver koletzki as part of großstadtmärchen 2, and the big jet plane ep for our good friends at dantze, poster-boy jan blomqvist presents his first 12inch on stil vor talent, ink. things kick off with the title track, whose classic song structure and romantic melodies rub elegantly against tougher, sometimes distorted electronic percussion to create a tension that would be at home on a radiohead lp
after his last ep on stil vor talent in 2009, born-and-bread berliner sascha braemer is now back with three fresh tracks for the spring of 2011. in the meantime, his funky minimal jump-up tech-house has led him to release on labels as prolific as kindisch or dirtybird. things kick off with >belle<, a ferocious attack on your groove muscles and dancing bones. this tune glides as softly as the wings of an angel while shaking you around like a giant would a dwarf. the up-beat groove is based on a great cut-up vocal sample and some animating synthesizer stabs. sweet! then, >felicitous<, which is considerably slower than the previous two tracks. still, the vocal on this one and the deep electronic body come together perfectly to form a deep and dirty suckerpunch to your euphoria synapses. last up is >people< keeps the effected vocal approach and that really makes this tune. imagine a super deep bassline, some wonderfully syncopated hi-hat trickles and a constant groove to underline the power of the vocal. this track is club pop - so deep and yet so magic it will run shivers down your spine on the breakdown. sascha braemer seems to have put all his experience of peak-time club moments to early morning afterhour visions into his own transcript of signature sound. this is not be mistaken, this is simply on-point
GOOD MORNING MIDNIGHT PT1 - DAVID AUGUST RMX (REPRESS)
12 Inch 30.05.11
here comes the first vinyl ep of niko schwinds 2011 album >good morning midnight<. this release does not only feature three of the best tracks of the album, but also an exclusive remix by house wonderboy david august, who does not cease to amaze with his retro-yet-contemporary vision of house music...
it seems that dapayk used to listen to a lot of hip-hop when he was younger. his latest ep for still vor talent >let go< has got these influences written all over it. the title track starts out with a male vocal and some sounds that sound a little like scratching before things then quickly head into the direction of the club. the vocal by singer camara could not be more reminiscent of 80s house music and this track has got all the soul and groove of this era. beneath the delicate vocal and sound patterns lies a wonderfully simply staccato house groove that is sure to get everyone shuffling. on the flip things get a little more techy with >nneka<, a deeper and more melodic tech house glider that gently takes the listener towards a harmonic state of mind. beautifully arpeggiated pads, a warm soulful groove and some reverbed vocals make this one. last up is the sample-based tech-house stomper >upyo< featuring production partner jon hester. this is loop heaven: a pushy beat loop with many snares, reverse samples and an unexpected saxophone melody make this one the perfect changeover track from warm-up to peak-time. this ep shows dapayks skills to combine many musical influences into his unique still of tech-house music
die nummer geht runter wie ein gin tonic im tropischen sommer oder ein heißes bad im eisregen. fuehlt sich einfach perfekt an! genau wie der rest von bruch und juniors erster ep auf stil vor talent.
this is the first of two vinyl releases of the channel x debut album >the x files<. andré and mirko decided to put four smashers on this first ep: it kicks off with circus-infused polka minimal tech track >freak show<. next up is >strange girl<, the tooly and soulful vocal tech-house that channel x have become renowned for. on the flip its channel x show how deep their house approach can go on the super sweet male vocal track >snug descent<. last, but surely not least this ep finishes with >we love the x<, a perfect showcase of what channel x stand for: vocals, effects, big basslines and strong loops.
supported by format b, karotte, matt john, laurent garnier, jamie jones, jesse rose , charted by kiki & oliver koletzki. channel x are two berliners who have already been making a name for themselves with their energy-laden minimal live sets that are full of clicks, clacks, effects and pumping grooves. their productions carry the same power as their live sets and, together as channel x, andre and mirko have already released on their affiliated label kassette records, a berlin-based minimal techno label. on stil vor talent they are now releasing a three-track-ep that is pure dancefloor material!
yes! format b are finally back with their second release on stil vor talent. after massive tracks on opposum and highgrade rec, their newest ep on stil vor talent is another huge minimal monster. kongo time is typical for the two berliners: a flickery percussive loop with some stretched out effect envelopes over a wobbly drum n bass style bassline place this track between freaky rave and minimal chic. its definitely going to make you trip out for sure! on the flip its the funky mondo time that builds up over some cuts and bleeps until it leads the listener into pure euphoria when the simple loop kicks in. a huge organic subbass and some chopped-up vocal sample add the funk to this delirious minimal hit and when it comes to minute 4:00 you really won t be able to hold your feet still. format b are at the top of their game and we are so happy to have them!
this time the labelowner himself comes around with the next shoot called stil vor talent number 9.oliver koletzki, well know for this remix marathons and as the one and only party-hard guy brings us another full effect peaktime guaranteed floor-filler, wich will break every ravers heart in seconds!big support from kiki (bpitch control) who remixed this tune, more minimal but also more than dj friendly.a must have
aka oliver koletzki !!! parker frisby ist acowboy from berlin. he is a party animal, that likes to perform with his live band. he loves disco and glamour of the eighties. he has always a slapbass and the cowbells in his pockets. mr frisby brings us with the track <und was jetzt?< some modern house and discoshit on the decks.. the warm organic sound of the real instruments such as funkbass and acousticguitar are typical for parker. the tracks on the b side are a tribute to the oldschool discotheque. this is why the guys from munk signed a track of parker on their label gomma
